Building at Home!!

Last week, when Andrea got home from work, we discovered scaffolding outside our window!!!

And lots of weird looking metal bits!!

 Even the back patio was full of ladders and poles!!

And it goes all the way up the back of the building too!!!
We found out later that the builders are Re Pointing The Bricks and it's going to take a month. They're also going to replace some rotten bricks (which sounds like an awfully good idea!!) which will take another week, maybe two, depending on how many rotten bricks they find. Andrea says this kind of thing happens a lot to buildings on the seafront like ours, and it's to do with all the salt in the air.

But then, because we're renting, we don't have to pay for any of it!!! So we got out the birdfood, and put some more on the window ledge and had a party with all the Sparrows!!!!!

We like free stuff!!!
